A FEMALE passenger claiming to be a terrorist sparked panic by threatening to blow up a plane in Turkey.
She ranted she was a member of the banned FETO group, which Turkey’s government blamed for a 2016 coup attempt against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
A female passenger sparked panic on a plane as she threatened to blow it up
Passengers restrained the woman, who wore dark glasses, a veil and a blue headscarf, as the Pegasus Airlines plane sat on the runway at Sabiha Gokcen Airport.
She held up a picture of Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen – accused of being behind the 2016 coup plot – and a book.
According to Cyprus Mail, the woman yelled: “I am a FETO member, and I will blow up the aircraft.”
Turkish media said the woman claimed to have five bombs.
TERROR PANIC
As she rowed with other passengers she lit cigarettes inside the plane, according to Turkish news website Hurriyet.
Footage showed the woman being restrained by fellow passengers after she threatened to blow up the flight to Tymbou, Northern Cyprus.
Security guards came onboard to escort the woman off the flight.
A search of the jet found nothing suspicious.
I am a FETO member, and I will blow up the aircraft
Ranting passenger
The woman was arrested by Turkish police after her shocking outburst.
It is unclear whether the flight took off or was cancelled after she had been escorted from the plane.
FETO- the Fethullahist Terrorist Organization – is what the Turkish government has named Fethullah Gulen’s movement.
Gulen had been a supporter of Erdogan but Erdogan purged Gulen’s supporters from the judiciary, military and civil services after the two fell out.
A failed military coup d’etat in July 2016 resulted in Erdogan imposing more purges and implementing a state of emergency.
Erdogan claimed the leaders of the coup were linked to Gulen, but Gulen has denied any involvement in it.
Sun Online contacted Pegasus Airlines for comment.

An internal matter for the Turks, and to the rest of us, part of the small dust of inconsequence.
And yet, she still has her head on her shoulders. Its interesting to note, based on the photos, that while she was in the act of making threats, NO ONE on the plane attempted to remove her head costume. Because that would really be stepping over the line, and they wouldn’t want to further inflame a mooslime already engaged in a crime. I wonder if she’ll be allowed to continue her travels tomorrow, or the day after.
With Muslims it’s about them being mental and not not a terrorist act BUT they will use the race card or “IS IT BECAUSE I’M AN ARAB?” bullshit.
Muslim is a Muslim. They will never deny Mohamental or sharia law even with 3rd white wife ayesha.

Non-muslims should not use airlines of muslim countries – and all non muslim countrie’s airlines should never transport muslims.
Step-overs in muslims countries should be avoided.
Let the muslims be what they are: Stone Age Creatures

step 1: rip the glasses and towel off her head.
.
step 2: open emergency door during flight
.
step 3: push her out to go meet her allah
.
Make sure the plane is below 10,000 feet before you perform Steps 2 & 3.

Clearly, only the mentally deficient and the mentally ill follow islam. That’s about all that sick cult can round up for followers.
Nobody in their right mind would view islam as a legitimate religion.
